Field notes

Rust Population says it polls Steam’s server list at five-minute intervals and records each public server once. Its homepage separates regional totals, a week of hourly averages in UTC, and currently fullest official, modded, and PvE servers; server entries show player slots and connection addresses. The homepage displays slightly different totals in its headline and habitat table.
